Cultivate and break through, cultivate and break through

  "Great Elder, can't you help me out at all?" Yi Feng said discontentedly while staring fixedly at the Great Elder.

  He himself said that this old guy was unwilling to help Yi Feng, and Yi Feng naturally didn't believe what he said about there being no shortcut. With the strength of a Great Elder, helping him advance several levels would be easy.

  The Great Elder shook his head and said, "Yi Feng, if it were someone else in your situation, their soul power would have reached the eighth stage of the Master level. It wouldn't be a problem to forcefully advance a few stages, but you're different because the cultivation method you practice is different from ours, and the spiritual energy you absorb is also different, so you can only rely on yourself."

  Yi Feng was stunned by this explanation. Yi Feng also knew that forcibly increasing his strength would be extremely difficult. However, he had thought that with the help of the Great Elder, who might have reached the level of a respected elder, it shouldn't be a problem to help him reach the human level. But, he hadn't expected that the Ling Shen Decree would have such a drawback.

  "Great elder, you're not joking, are you?" Yifeng said with a tone of disbelief.

  The old man shook his head and said firmly, "Youngster, stop thinking about taking shortcuts every day. If one's strength could be enhanced by relying on others, then the world would be full of masters. So, don't dream about it."

  The Great Elder looked at the Great Elder with suspicion, and after a long time, he finally took a deep breath and said: "Then how can I fight against Liu Feng? Damn it, do you think I can reach the level of Shifu in just seven months?"

  The elder turned his head away and said with an attitude of being uninvolved: "That's your own business, it has nothing to do with me."

  "Grass..."

  Yu Feng couldn't help but blurt out a word from his mouth, he took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excited emotions.

  The elder glanced at Yi Feng and said lightly, "Actually, this was also what your master entrusted me with. Practicing with your feet on the ground can make your foundation even more solid. I even suspect that your master intentionally remade your meridians incorrectly twice before. This way, you could restart from scratch several times, just to give you a foundation as deep and profound as possible."

  Yi Feng stood there in a daze, thinking about how the old man had repeatedly emphasized the importance of foundation. It was possible that he could really do such a thing.

  "Old man, you wait." Yī Fēng gritted his teeth, having gone through three near-death experiences just for that damn solid foundation, he felt it was not worth it.

  The old man saw Yi Feng's gnashing teeth, and he secretly laughed to himself: "Heh heh, old guy, I don't dare cause trouble for you. Being able to stir up your disciple to cause trouble for you is good enough."

  "Great elder, are there soul-snatching masters in the holy land?" Yifeng suddenly asked.

  The old man furrowed his brow in puzzlement and said, "What's the point of asking this?"

  "Just say if you have one or not. Don't bother with so much nonsense. I'm useful." Yī Fēng said impatiently. In the Holy Land, which almost included all professions, only the Soul Reaper Yī Fēng had never heard of, but Yī Fēng didn't believe that this strange place, the Holy Land, didn't have a Soul Reaper.

  "I know what you're thinking. To be honest with you, the Holy Land's Soul Reaper does exist, but it's not suitable for you. Your master has found one that suits you. You can learn from him when the time comes." The Great Elder felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he just said it out loud.

  Yi Feng was taken aback for a moment, then reluctantly nodded his head. He knew that the old man and the Great Elder would not deceive him on this matter. Only, being unable to learn that strange Soul Capturing Technique for the time being was somewhat regrettable.

  "Hey kid, don't get too cocky. You'd better think about how to deal with your duel with Liu Feng a few months from now. If you lose, tsk, I think the whole Holy Land will be in an uproar, and you won't be able to escape being known as a useless person. Most importantly, do you want your little girlfriend to bail you out?" The Great Elder laughed strangely, and Yi Feng knew he was using the tactic of provocation, but thinking about being trampled by Liu Feng's mockery, he still couldn't help but hum in anger.

  "Damn it, just for a solid foundation, treating Ben as if he were a piece of dough to be pinched at will." Yifeng couldn't help but curse.

  "When your strength reaches a certain level, you'll understand the benefits. The depth of foundation, in some sense, is directly proportional to the highest height you can reach in the future."

  Yi Feng glanced at the Great Elder and saw that he would not agree to help him increase his strength, so he could only reluctantly give up.

  "By the way, Yi Feng, although I can't increase your strength for you, you can give yourself a boost." Just as Yi Feng was about to leave, the Great Elder suddenly said this.

  Yi Feng was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up as he said, "What do you mean by that?"

  "Heh heh, you're now at the 8th rank of Soul Force, right? I think that even if you haven't learned Soul Sealing Technique, your two-rank higher soul should still be able to barely suppress it. Haven't you heard that warriors can absorb a spirit's energy to increase their strength?" The Great Elder said with an evil smile, making Yi Feng's heart feel a chill.

  However, the elder's words made Yifeng involuntarily slap his own forehead. Right, how could he have forgotten that absorbing spiritual energy was much faster than absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy?

  However, Yi Feng immediately thought of a serious problem, that is, his own spiritual energy was the five elements spiritual energy. But spirits are generally composed of one of the five elements. In other words, in order to absorb the energy of the spirit, he had to have a spirit with the energy of all five elements at the same time.

  Thinking of this, Yifeng finally understood why the Great Elder smiled so wickedly. Obviously, with his current strength, killing a second-tier spirit was already a problem, let alone capturing one. Most importantly, he still had to capture one from each of the five elements.

  "Elder, speak up, what are your demands?" Yī Fēng knew the Elder's true nature and that it wouldn't be possible to get away without shedding some blood today.

  "Alright, I'll give you the Five Elements Spirit. But you have to help me get that bottle of Hundred-Year-Old Fine Wine from my third brother."

  As soon as the old man finished speaking, Yifeng's face twitched: This old guy really knows how to open his mouth wide, doesn't he know that the three elders' bottle of wine is his ***, and he has been reluctant to drink it.

  "Yi Feng, think carefully about it. If you don't agree, I won't force you. However, advancing to the Master level in just seven months is extremely difficult." The Great Elder shook his head and nodded, with an expression that seemed to say he had already made up his mind about Yi Feng's fate.

  Yi Feng glared fiercely at the elder, gritting his teeth as he said: "Deal!"

  "Haha……" The Great Elder burst out laughing, taking out several bottles from his bosom and saying, "Last time I gave you was Water Spirit Energy. These four bottles are energies of the Gold, Wood, Fire, and Earth attributes. This bottle is specially made for Soul Capturers, with the energy of the soul compressed within, but the soul itself has been extracted, that thing is useless to you anyway. After all, your master's eighth-stage soul power, absorbing that little bit of soul power won't have much effect."

  Yi Feng nodded and took a few bottles from the hands of the elder, throwing them into the storage ring, saying: "I'll give you some wine later."

  Yi Feng couldn't help but secretly laugh to himself after saying that. Hehe, the wine had long been drunk by Ben Shao, and what was inside the bottle was actually Ben Shao's urine. Hehe, you two can slowly enjoy it.
